APC replies PDP over jackboot” comment against Buhari The All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, as a Janus- faced bumbling party for engaging in a serial Mudslinging against the APC and its leaders, especially in the aftermath of its hugely successful national Convention in which Muhammadu Buhari was elected as the APC’s presidential candidate. In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by it National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the same PDP that has been preaching issues-based electioneering campaign has done nothing but mudslinging against the person of Mr. Buhari, his running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, our leader Bola Ahmed Tinubu and indeed the entire APC. It said the spokespersons for President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP, apparently stung into a suppor by the rancour-free emergence of the party’s candidates for the 2015 general elections and the overwhelmingly positive reactions from Nigerians, have thrown caution and decency to the wind by their crude, rude and rambling statements. ”What is issues-based in calling Gen. Buhari a semi-literate jackboot’ as the PDP’s National Secretary Wale Oladipo has incautiously said? Where are the issues in the pejorative reference to Prof. Osinbajo as an ‘acolyte’ of Tinubu, or in describing Tinubu himself as a puppeteer, as the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh has Said in the most vitriolic and irresponsible statement that can ever be issued by the spokesman of a ruling party anywhere? Where are the issues contained in the statement by the serial bumbler and gormandizer called Doyin Okupe, who regards Mr. Buhari’s refusal to enrich himself from the public till as a vice rather than a virtue? Why would a ruling party go after the jugular of the opposition simply because it took its time in choosing its presidential running mate, especially since it did not run foul of any electoral law in doing so? ”The truth is that the Jonathan Presidency and the PDP have no issues to canvass during the Electioneering campaign for the 2015 general Elections because they have wasted the mandate given to them by Nigerians on the altar of Unprecedented corruption, incomprehensible Incompetence and cluelessness and perhaps the worst leadership ever inflicted on our country,” APC said. The party expressed delight that Nigerians haveTaken it upon themselves to respond to the PDP andIts barbarians, especially in the social media.”Had these philistines been monitoring the reactions of Nigerians to the capricious commentsThey have been making against the person of Mr.Buhari and his party, they would have desisted. But then, they need to impress their paymasters. ItSeems the more they pour invective on our leaders and our party, the bigger their pay. We wish themLuck in their ludicrous pursuit and shadowchasing,” it said. APC assured Nigerians that its campaign for nextYear’s elections would be based on how the partyplans to restore hope to the forlorn citizens, whohave been taken for a ride by the government theyvoted into power, how Nigeria can be made greatAgain and how the comatose economy can beResuscitated, for the benefit of all, rather than aFew fat cats. ”We are delighted at the increasing level ofPolitical awareness among Nigerians and theirengagement in the political scene. We believeNigerians are more interested in what theCandidates for next year’s elections can offerRather than on how much mudslinging they candish out. In the end, Nigerians, who are the realmasters, will spot the difference!” the party said. Lai Mohammed National Publicity Secretary All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos, Dec. 23rd 2014
